Through Rotorua Breast Cancer support, Sue, Mardia and her husband attended the Holistic Cancer Congress. Here is some of what Mardia had to say…

From Mardia….“The Cancer Congress has helped to give my husband and I more hope” – “It meant a lot that my husband was able to attend with me. He has been there every step of the way and at least emotionally he is affected by my diagnosis as much as I am. I really see my situation as ‘our’ situation” – “To understand that I can make changes that could possibly make a difference to the end result is quite empowering. For me personally this makes dealing with my diagnosis and situation a lot easier” – “I would absolutely recommend this Congress to other cancer patients. It was a great opportunity to find out what other avenues of help are out there and also the many things that I can do to help myself.”

From Sue...”I loved every part of the Congress. At this conference many areas of complimentary ideas, experiences and treatments for cancer were shared. I was in the company of like-minded people. This whole weekend was most interesting, heartening, refreshing and reinforcing for me” – “I am pleased I can revisit all the special presenters and speakers by googling ‘Holistic Cancer Congress Auckland 2013′” – “I would recommend this conference to any other patients who are interested in exploring a wider variety of ideas and treatments to compliment treating their cancer diagnosis and recovery” – “I felt privileged to be able to attend this conference ‘Thank you RBCT for your support!'”.

About our logo

Our fabulous logo was created by former trustee June Northcroft Grant. The Hei Tiki is recognised throughout Polynesia as a symbol representing human life and also as a tangible memory of ancestors and the love associated with those who have worn the tiki over many generations. June designed the hei tiki with thoughts of guardianship, ongoing life and well being, so the hands of the tiki are covering the breast, representing protection and for the aim of the Breast Cancer Trust, guardianship of this sacred part of feminine form and nurturing propensity.
